This is an episode about one woman’s personal journey in an interracial relationship. Shaundra is an African American female, and she is engaged to a Caucasian male. Shaundra is a Florida native, but She currently resides in Maryland. The majority of the personal encounters that she speaks about are from up and down the east coast.

Tune in and see why Shaundra describes interracial dating as “not for the faint of heart.” She shares some things that have been helpful for her when it comes to being in a relationship with someone from another cultural background. Some of the areas that she touches on are:

Family and friends who may not agree with a biracial relationship

Discriminatory experiences in 2017

Speaking about cultural differences

It is human nature to remain in your comfort zone. Many people flock to others who look like them or think like them. The beauty of diversity is that it takes us away from our past ignorance, and allows us to be curious versus critical.

If you missed the episode last week, be sure to check it out. In episode 26, we had a therapist share some tips for those who are involved in interracial relationships. She provides some do’s and don’ts that will be helpful for strengthening the bond in your relationship.
